I'm trying to install Eibach Prokit, but the spring compressor from advanced auto parts don't work, and the spring compressor From Sears doesn't work either. Where did you guys with them get the spring compressor? Thnx

I got mine from Discount Auto. If you have jack stands holdin the car up, you can use the jack to hold the control arm while you unbolt it and then slowly lower the jack. I do not advise doing this with out proper protection, holding chains, etc.

That is how I did mine. Jack stands and then used the jack to lower the control arm. It works better if you have 2 people. One guy working with the jack, and one guy unbolting everything. It took us 3 hours to do the job.

I used a crowbar. Worked fine for me. Installed all 4 in less than 2 hrs in my garage on jacks and basic hand tools.

Same here. Very easy install. Just undo the strut and lower the arm with a jack. That was it for me. I have the Eibach Sportlines on mine. Total install time was less than 2 hours.
